Sberbank imposed a credit card, what should I do? Classic card What to do when they impose a credit card
Have you been forced to use a Sberbank credit card? Or they sent it by mail, but you don’t need it. And you don’t know what to do in such cases? Read on to learn how to refuse it wisely so as not to end up in debt.
Sberbank imposes a credit card: how to refuse
Everyone perceives an additional service with an offer to issue a credit card from Sberbank differently. Some people find it very profitable and timely, while others are simply outraged by what is happening. The offer does not come to everyone. The privilege is granted primarily to bank clients, as well as existing borrowers on consumer, housing and car loans. They have the opportunity to issue an instant Credit Momentum credit card or personalized “plastic” with a credit limit of up to 200 thousand rubles. They offer preferential service and a rate of 25.9%.
Credit cards are sent centrally through the “Credit Card by Mail” promotion. If the “plastic” is not activated within a specific period of time, then the bank’s offer is automatically canceled. If you do not need the service being imposed, then the credit card can be destroyed by simply cutting it, touching the magnetic strip. And be sure to notify the bank of the refusal by contacting the Sberbank contact center or writing an email.
Sberbank can terminate the agreement unilaterally, but only if the tariff plan for servicing the credit card is free.
Is the card already in your hands and is it activated? Even if you do not use it, the bank, according to the agreement, will write off the issuance and maintenance fees. How to get rid of unnecessary “plastic”? Write. First, you need to check the financial status of the credit card and unlink paid services. Debt, even for an unused card, appears due to the amounts for issuance and maintenance. After terminating the credit relationship with the bank, obtain a certificate confirming the absence of credit obligations to the lender.
Have you used your Sberbank credit card for the expiration date and no longer want to continue using credit? In this case, a month before the expiration date of the card, you should notify the bank about this. Otherwise, the bank will issue a new one.
When issuing a salary card, the employee is often given a card with a certain loan amount or. Why is that? The type of salary cards is chosen by the company administration, which signs a service agreement with the bank. If the situation is not satisfactory, the problem can be solved in two ways:
- Write an application to Sberbank to cancel the credit limit and set a threshold of 0 rubles.
- Close a credit account and open a debit account. Provide the accounting department with the details of the new account and write a corresponding application.
Why does Sberbank impose credit cards?
Any banking institution has its own policy of marketing and promoting its services. An offer to issue a credit card from the bank is received via SMS, through calls and during a visit to a branch of the credit institution. This imposition is due to the fact that bank employees receive a bonus for each “plastic” issued. And, as in the sales field, there is a plan execution system.
Problem
Hello! The essence of the problem is that at the place of work they exchanged Sberbank salary cards for new ones with a higher degree of protection. Standard exchange applications were previously signed. On the appointed day they told me to come with my passport, the bank representative took the passport, photographed the spread with the photo and gave me to sign the statement. Only after this it turned out that I had signed for a “Gold” credit card dated 12.2012 (the card was issued on 01.23.2013). They refused my request to pick up the card, citing the fact that I had signed the statement. How can I return my credit card back to the bank with minimal losses?
I may have misrepresented the essence of the matter. There were two cards - first, against a signature on the statement, they issued a credit card, about which there was no discussion (I saw it only when I signed the statement), and then they gave me a salary card. When I said that the loan was for me not needed, the bank representative said that these are very profitable cards, with a low interest rate and free service for the first 50 days (I suspect that at the time the card was issued, the preferential 50 days had already expired). From the words of the employee, I found out that on this card I have 200,000 rubles lying around. I have never used bank loans, and I want to return this credit card to the bank with minimal losses for myself.
Good afternoon This is the practice of Sberbank. A salary card is issued and then a debit card. If you do not use this card, then only the card limit is provided. For example, in this case, 200,000 rubles. If you do not activate the card, then your credit history is not open. You can get information through the website http://www.sbrf.ru
Solution
Hello,
The type of cards is chosen by the management of the organization signing a service agreement with a commercial bank. Payroll credit cards can be issued with or without an overdraft. When using an overdraft on a card in an amount that does not exceed the average monthly earnings, the debt amount is written off automatically when funds are received on the card. The agreement concluded between the company and the bank also stipulates service rates, which depend on the type of card chosen. You were informed about the terms of the loan, whether there is interest for cash withdrawals (usually can be established in the case of using bank funds), interest accrued for using bank funds, as well as the grace period during which no interest is accrued. In some cases, using a credit card is quite convenient.
But if this does not suit you, then there are 2 ways to solve this problem. 1. Try contacting the bank and writing an application to cancel the credit limit and set a threshold of 0 rubles (usually they have special forms, or in free form). 2. Close this account and open a new one in the same bank - current (debit). Please provide the details for transferring your salary to THIS card along with your application to the accounting department.
I found myself in an unpleasant situation. I have a Sberbank salary card, and suddenly in the Internet bank I discover that a credit card has appeared that is “to be issued.” I didn’t ask for a credit card, Sberbank is trying to sell it to me. So what should I do?
I wrote a complaint on the Sberbank website demanding that this credit card be removed because I did not order it and demanding that the employee who issued this credit card be punished. Complaint number 000913-2013-027931
Yesterday I finally received an answer to my complaint! The card was not removed. They didn’t understand that I didn’t need the card, they weren’t going to punish anyone, but the only answer was how to get this card! Just a mockery. Here is the response to the complaint:
"OJSC Sberbank of Russia informs you of the following in response to your request. During the claim work, it was established that a credit card was issued in your name<номер>within the framework of the "Credit Card by Mail" company. We inform you that credit cards delivered by mail are issued to bank clients - salary card holders. Credit cards are sent by the bank to home addresses centrally, using the Russian Federal Postal Network - Russian Post. To activate a credit card, you must contact any structural unit. Credit cards are packaged in envelopes, complete with an information letter. The credit card activation period is 135 days from the date of issue. If the client does not have time to activate the credit card before the date specified in the information letter, then the bank’s offer to activate the credit card is automatically canceled. We apologize for the inconvenience caused and hope that our explanations will help you to successfully use our services in the future."
I wrote another complaint, indicating that my first complaint was not considered, the answer was not related to my question, and again indicated that I did not need a credit card. Now, probably, again in a month you will receive an answer, which will again tell you how to get this credit card.
What should I do? I started reading on the Internet, the only thing that helps is contacting the prosecutor’s office, only then does Sberbank begin to move. Tell me, HOW TO REFUSE AN UNISSUE CARD? They write that you cannot write an application to refuse the card, since the card has not been received in your hands. I think it’s clear that I won’t receive it in my hands. I hope Sberbank employees will not be able to send me this card by mail, since I wrote a refusal to process personal information on a special form at a Sberbank branch a couple of months ago. I think as an option, ask the branch for a form to close all accounts except the salary card account.
If there really are representatives of Sberbank on this site, tell me how to cancel this unissued card so that it never exists again? Without waiting months, according to the application? I’ve already written two applications, the card is still hanging, and your Sberbank didn’t even understand that I don’t need this card. At the branch of your Sberbank they will not allow me to write a refusal of the card, since the card was not issued to me, I read this answer from a Sberbank representative on this website in a situation similar to mine. So how do you cancel this loan? Who has already been in this situation, tell me what to do? Well, it’s just an indecent imposition of services!
Hello dear readers. The topic of today's article is the Mir bank card.
You all remember that some time ago Western countries imposed sectoral sanctions on many Russian banks. It is for this reason that the government of the Russian Federation made a timely decision to form the National Payment Card System and issue bank plastic cards under the NSPK.

Debit card world: review
